Reading Response

The information presented on the posters created by the Yale School of Architecture was similar on each poster but each had its own distinct personality. Each year the school took a rather routine set of information (that semester’s lecture series) and made it into a visually stunning poster that grabs the reader’s attention and forces them to read the content. The variations of the posters to relatively the same information is almost mind-blowing. Each poster used typographic hierarchy as well to lead the reader’s eye around the page. Each year the hierarchy methods changed but the information stayed the same. -Matthew Smith

What's due next on the blog

This week you will need to post a summary of the things you learned. In it we want you to include what you think was most beneficial about the class, what information you will use as you further your career, what you think could be improved upon, what you learned that stands out the most, and what you like most/least about the class.

Last week you needed to post an image of your favorite website. You needed to not only describe why you like it best in terms of design and content, but also explain how they lay it out and how it helps with navigation.
